2023: APC reportedly moves to zone presidency to northeast

Meanwhile, sources in the APC claimed that the leadership of the ruling party is making underground moves to zone the presidential ticket to the northeast.

One of the sources who spoke on Tuesday, May 17, said the APC was really looking at eventually projecting Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the flagbearer in 2023.

The source who pleaded anonymity said:

“What the National Assembly is trying to do is to back Lawan with the huge number of statutory delegates of past and present legislators that the amendment would allow to attend such conventions and congresses.

"They are in the region of almost 4,000, who are most likely going to throw their support behind Lawan. So, that is why they are trying to amend the law again to suit their own selfish purposes and calculations.”
